Checked them out at z1... They look nice, but the installation notes and available options were a bit over my head. Haven't really researched brakes and brake components yet. I'll have to do my homework on this one.

so what are the chances if I watch this nifty installation video that MD has for the MREV2 that I could do the installation myself? HAHAHA....

you should be able to do that fine, theres about 10-16 bolts you have to unscrew, its pretty simple if you can loosen and tighten bolts you can do it, just BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN those bolts snap easyyy. i snapped 2 and almost snapped a 3rd bolt when i replaced the whole plenum setup, mostly just worry about the 6 in the center, and the ones that bolt to the lower runners under the plenum, those are the ones i snapped. thank god they left a bit sticking out of the wholes so they werent hard to get out, but its realllly simple to do that installation, and seeing as you have decent knowledge of modding i have faith you could do it within 2 hours, only took me about an hour, and thats only cause we had to find a couple extra bolts
also the Akebonos are a very common setup that people use, i would suggest those if you dont get the brembo's, next id suggest the Stoptech, its a good brand that seems they dont get as much respect as they should.

it shouldnt be too hard, i didnt really research much before i did it, i mean if you look at your plenum you can see everything you have to unbolt/hoses to un-attach after you take off the plenum you have 6 bolts on the lower plenum in the center of it, if you look up google images of te lower plenum youll see the bolts, and if i remember correctly i think it was like 20 inch pounds that you tighten the bolts to - if im wrong it may be 100 inch pounds i cant remember for sure but you could probably look that up.
i put them to about 6-10 ft pounds before i knew the specs, after 10 you WILL snap the bolt, if i were you id buy an extra bolt kit just in case. i know i put them to 5 lbs and just waited til they felt pretty snug and stopped from there
BTW if you get the spacer on your plenum get washer or something to raise your strut bar or else it will rub and youll think you installed the plenum wrong cause itll seem like the car is running like complete @$$!!! and then youll have to adjust it just right so you dont slam the hood on it, just give it a tiny space to where its not touching and youll be fine
and honestly i havent looked to much into them, id say if you cant find someone on here selling them to check out Z1, Concept Z, or motordyne
also other non Z stores try out Autoanything, and Carid, they are good websites ive bought a few things for my lancer from both sites and they had great service and you can find a lot of promo coupons for both sites.

Just for kicks did a quick exhaust clip with the current Titek test pipes installed. ART pipes will be installed on Tuesday. Will post another clip to see if there is a difference in tone.
